ICYMI -- Thune Amendment goes down WITHOUT a vote !!

US Senate ^ | live midnight EST | US Senate

[davidosborne]

ICYMI --- The Senate just killed a THUNE Ammendment which would have replaced the ENTIRE ammount the so called stimulus with a CHECK to every taxpayer.. this would have given about 5,000 bucks to every single taxpayer, and about 10,000 bucks to every couple filing jointly.

61 idiots voted to kill it... if you think this would have been a better stimulous that the pork that is currently being debated than i suggest you call your senator if they are one of the 61

Naw, I get the point. It illustrates how low our expectations have become.

According to the list Voinovich (R-OH) also voted Nay.

Since I have the private e-mail of my congressman, I've already sent the message. I WANT MY $5000!!!!!!!

Harkin comes next. I'm also sending e-mails to those in my address book to start the mantra.

This is doable. We don't have to pick off that many.

My congressman is against this whole thing so there's nothing to pick off but perhaps he can perpetuate this salivating over our five thousand dollars.

Since we'll be getting $10,000 at our household, I guess I'll spend it on my house. That will put some painters to work and I'll also spend it on landscapers.

I stayed up last night and watched it. I couldn’t believe (well, actually, I could) Reid totally ignored Sen. Sessions amendment. I had the TV on earlier in the day and they blew him off then, as well.

[davidosborne]

I watched it as well... very frustrating to say the least..

"COLLINS SPECTOR and SNOWE !!"
You can see why I find it a waste of time to send emails or attempts calls to my supposed Republican US Senator from PA.. Past attempts have only pissed me more off on a given issue I wanted to address.
Where sliding downward into a real pit of *hit.

[davidosborne]

I understand what you mean... we can’t allow the RINO’s to get away with stabbing conservatives in the back.. This is what is killing the RNC..
